Which state would you move to if you had your dream job waiting there for you?

As above, and why if you don't mind.

Arizona Nevada New Mexico California Florida Tennessee Oklahoma Kansas Missouri Louisiana Mississippi Georgia South Carolina Hawaii maybe Washington

I cannot stand the cold I grew up in Texas and I moved to Wyoming and moved right back to Texas. I might move to northern states if the job was good enough.

If that's the case I would say no State's off limits I want to avoid the northern slope of Alaska because that's like being on Neptune it doesn't sound Pleasant than the least to me. But the southern end of Alaska absolutely so I guess no States off limits.
 
I already have my dream job - it is called RETIREMENT. I live in Michigan. I am happy here.

If I would move anywhere else - it might be to Washington state or perhaps Oregon or northern California. Lets say from San Francisco up through Seattle.

New Mexico, one of the poorer states, is it the weather or something else that draws you?

Brings back memories of an old song, "Point me, in the direction of Albuquerque."
 
Why would I wait, I'm there now. Of course it goes without saying we ran the last Democrats out years ago, they have gathered in the places people run away from.
 
I would stay in CA, but since the question tells me to move, I'd move to Hawaii.
 
I actually very much love living where I am now (Metro DC). DC is my favorite city in the world (at least I've visited so far). If I had to move I'd likely want to go to Orange County, CA or San Diego. I loved it out there. I love the diversity and the urban living lifestyle provided to me living in the BosWash corridor. I want to visit some of the larger cities in TX though, I know I'd likely prefer the local political climate there more.
 
I would find it very difficult to leave New York....but if I had to I would say Colorado or Vermont. It has to be someplace where it is very unusual to find Christian radio stations while driving.
 
Alaska, Washington or Oregon. Idaho in a pinch but it's too far from salt water.

Ooooh, Alaska. I can't stand the cold there so I wouldn't go there to permanently live, though I would perhaps pay a little visit.
 
Tough choice between Colorado and Arizona. Colorado is just beautiful, it's one of my favorite places I've visited. The people there are nice, and Denver is a cool city. My only complaint is that it gets cold in the winter. Arizona doesn't, so it would be a strong contender too.

California is nice, but it's too damn expensive. Same with Hawaii.
 
I'd have to be younger, but Southern Coastal Alaska (isn't as cold). And we have cousins who live there. I'd like to catch a big Halibut.
 
Oops, sorry, I should have looked how old this thread was.
 
If I could get a really good job in any of these places, I would go there (assuming my wife and kids were cool with it):

Northern New Mexico (Santa Fe area)
Lander Wyoming
Fort Collins, CO
Fayetteville, AR
Asheville, NC

Washington or Oregon. The whole Cascadia region is beautiful to me, and the people are generally more forward-thinking.
 
Somewhere in Oregon for sure.

As a car collector it is the best state for registering old cars.

The registration on any car is cheap, but they also have collector plates that are permanent. You pay once and never again.

You can get a dealers license. The insurance that covers the license also covers any principles on that license so it covers any and every car in your name.

You can have 100 cars and only pay for one insurance policy, which isn't expensive and all of the cars can have permanent plates and not pay any yearly fees.

It is the perfect set up.
 
We currently live in Knoxville, which suits me really well. I have always enjoyed the mountains and the GSMNP is 45 minutes away, and we have several other state parks nearby with good hiking. And there's lots of TVA impoundments nearby, which provide boating in the lakes, and excellent trout fishing in the tail waters. And it's inexpensive, no state income tax, and the people are as a whole very friendly.

I love the Southwest but I'm not sure I would like it long term as well as here. I've been to Colorado many times and love it but I'm sure there are other places in or near the Rockies with similar attractions - basically hiking, biking and trout fishing.

HI is great, but travel from there is a bit of a turnoff - 12 hours to anywhere in the east, at least....
 
That's a tricky one. As the one place I absolutely love is a state where I don't know how long I could handle their asinine government.

California. Specifically Del Mar...
 
Colorado without a doubt
 
It was St. Thomas until the last set of hurricanes. I'd get myself a seaplane and fly tourists around by day and then play island music or jazz by night.

We were in Arizona earlier this year and loved it so that could work as well. Also kinda like Nevada.

Visited Knoxville for the solar eclipse, I REALLY loved that town. Everyone was super nice, tons of new microbreweries, traffic was non-existant compared to the DC area. From what the locals told me, COL was 1/3 of what it is here in Bethesda.

If I moved anywhere, I'd seriously consider Tennessee.
